Aa a remit of the moral clean up
in Waveriy three divorce suit, have

them nme disgraceful charge*.

drunkenness and disorderly conduct,
eras convicted of said offense snd a
fine waa aaaeased against her whirh
was paid by a young man who
should have had no interest io her.
They were married in Chillicothe
on October 20. 191G. In July 1917
Mr. Campbell enliited In the army
and just recently returned.
Ocio hi, Bliss has asked for df-
jfafem arj alimony from?Edward C.
Biies a%% the charges of extreme
cruelty, striking her In the face
and knock iog her to the floor, accusing her of going out*witb other
men and beating her when .he denied that statement, cursing ber,
aod calling her Insolent pet names.
She alleges that many times in
winter the was forced to go to the
N. & W. trscks for coal to keep
herself ard three small daughters
warm and that ahe has been forced
to move as she had no money to pay \
overdue rent. Mrs. Bliss further
alleges that she hss no money or
means to prosecute, but asks for a
divorce ond to be given the can.
custody and education of her children, temporary alimony and all
other available relief. I
Another case of a soldier being
mistreated, while fighting for his
country is exposed in the case of
Clarence C. Deering vs. Mae Deering. He has asked for sn absolute!
decree of divorce on the grounds of
her absolute disregsrd for murlt.--
duties, indulging In wild dissipation, disorderly conduct, conduct
unbecoming to a virtuous woman
••luring her husband's absence in
military service, conducting a disorderly hooHc, harboring various
men and women in ber dwelling for
lewd and Immoral purposes and for
grossly and willfully ignoring her
duties as the wife of the plaintiff.
A cross petition was filed by the
defendant, stating that she Is not
guilty of any of-the above charges,
that ahe has had to earn her own
living for tbe past two month*., her
house rent Is tn arrears and abe
wuota temporary alllmony as she is
destitute. In case a divorce is
granted, she wants the name of a
former husband, Hughes, restored

Mr. Deering later made affidavit
that on May 25th. the plaintiff was
brought into Mayor's court on a
charge of keeping a disorderly
house, pl-*d guilty and paid a fine
of $25 and costs. All this happened
white Mr. Deering was sending her
bis allotment aad doing his part
toward ber support. A sidelight
on the plaintiff's past history shows
She was then married to Elden F.
Holmes st Wilminton and they were
separated lo less than a yesr on account of the birth of an illegltmate
cbild. Shortly after this, e*-e married Walter SUndforth at Hilisboro

"Just what we expected" was the
slogsn when the Corwine bridge
went out for the second time Isst
Friday and the btldge waa torn a-
way instead of fixing it up for the
heavy travel whlcb has been forced
to come over that road. Ex-Sheriff's and street bums without experience in road building, cannot
be expected to do tbe right things
and why they are allowed such responsible positions should bo investigated. The detour which haa to be
made there is the most impassaole
one that anyone'a ingenuity could
produce. More machines have been
wrecked and stuck tbere In the past
week than any place in the county.

historic event nerer to bo forgotten. His exi*-**ranees in Knr.la._d and l-Yanr/"
were many and varied but bo is not comlnjc to Chautauqua to tectum on hit-

and sllowlng her to remain here ar
a menace to the youog men who1'
have not been caught in her clutches, ordered her to leave town on the
_:11 north bound N. & W. that
evening with the sentence of a $500
fine and long sentence in the work
house to be next met if she ever returns to Waverly again.
Mar'e Smith was also up Tuesday
morning on a charge of disorderly
conduct. Officials found ber late'
Friday night with a soldier in the
lower school ho-.se yard. She was
given a strong warning by the Mayor and if she fails to obey and is
brought into court again, she will
be fined from $5 to $50 and sent to
the work house.
After being in Mayor's court once
and falling to heed the warning
not to appear on the street with sny
man except her husband, Mra. Ed
Bliss waa baled into court tbe second time Tuesday evening and was
given notice to pack up and leave
'■ town within thrse days.
investigations were started Mondsy to see whether May Deering
waa obeying Mayor Smith's orders
to close up ber house aod not bave
any more rough parties and obscene
dances. So far, no further complaint has been beard and she has
promised to pack up and leave town.
With the passing of these familiar names from Waverly's directory
there will be no grief or loss felt
for them and a better and cleaner
standard of morality .will be started
for the younger generation. If It
takes six months to clean op tbe
town or even longer, that much
time will bc devoted to this cause.
